Drafts Directory: Save changed to Dropbox

Action

Posted by RoyRogers, Last update over 5 years ago

This will save all modified drafts to /Drafts/ folders in Dropbox using the title line as the file name, and in sub folders for inbox, tagged and archive.

Uses a hidden timestamp file to check against modified since last run. If this file is missing, all drafts will be copied.

Note: Existing files with same name will be overwritten!
Note: Trashed drafts will not be trashes from Dropbox!

Install

Steps

script

// Save all Drafts to iCloud

// grab all of the drafts with specific tag
// var tag = "any" // "script";

var boxes = ["inbox", "flagged", "archive"];

const now = new Date();
const ts = now.toString("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
var db = Dropbox.create();
var ts_file = '/Drafts/.time_stamp.txt'
var lastime = Number(db.read(ts_file));
if (isNaN(lastime)) {
  lastime = 0};
var success = db.write(ts_file, ts, "overwrite", true);

for(const box of boxes) {
  console.log(box);

  var drafts = Draft.query("", box); //,[tag]);
  for(const draft of drafts) {
    var mod = Number(draft.modifiedAt.toString("yyyyMMddhhmmss"));
    if (mod < lastime) {
        continue;
    };
    var title = draft.processTemplate("[[safe_title]]");
    var content=draft.processTemplate("[[draft]]").trim();
    var tags = draft.processTemplate("[[tags]]");
    if (tags != '') {
      content += '\n\n    #' + tags.replace(/,/g, ' #');
    };
      
    var path = "/Drafts/"+box+"/"+title+".txt";
    var db = Dropbox.create();
    var success = db.write(path, content, "overwrite", true);
  }; // end for drafts
